IVF the name! Time for change ?

We all know IVf is abbreviated , but does anybody else feel the name should be updated ?

Something more personal than a medical term, I really don't like it. How do you feel ?

Just for fun any suggestions on the name change.

It isn't very fluffy is it? I guess it's cos the specialists are focusing on the process to get you pregnant rather than making you a mother. Assisted baby making sounds like they're gonna help you in the bedrooom! My husband just suggested miracle grow?! Xx
